About $50 persons turned out Saturday

High school team of st. Adams. The
game was very exciting up to the last

winning the game, the score standing to

say that they had not seen a better game
on the grounds this year. One OF the two
features of the game was the pitching of
Taylor, who sent the ball slowly over the
plate, but completely puzzled the st. Al

some bad errors, they made some fine
plays, including several pretty double
plays. Davis was batted out of the box in
the seventh inning and Sprague took his
place. Barrett pitched fine game and
was well supported by Roche, who made
several fine foul tips. At the end of the
sixth inning the score stood to . in favor
of ST. Adams. In the seventh the home
nine got one run and tied the score, in the
eighth the home nine scored four runs
